MODI Building (1)

The plan is to replace Kato's 23-437 OIOI building 😢 because at that location I need two corners and Kato's large buildings are too ... large. I googled around and decided to model two buildings after 1. MODI in Shibuya 渋谷モディ(because I like the modern design and the giant screen) and 2. Takashimaya Nihombashi Store 高島屋日本橋店 (because of the red awnings).

​At the end of last year, I took dozen of photos on location and built rough paper mockups to check if I was getting used to these two buildings on the layout.

​I am happy with the result, and a couple of weeks ago I started the 3D design of the MODI building. As usual, I am using Autodesk Fusion 360 as I have a free non-commercial license.

I plan to 3D print it in several parts. That's the lobby:

And the top floors:

​I am also experimenting with the giant screen. I can fit a 2.2" TFT LCD panel connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The prototype display is curved, though, and I am also looking for an AMOLED display that I could bend. Unfortunately so far I have not found any of the right size.
